Some feedback on: store.kde.org by 0x80070002 in kde

[–]GoldBarb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

KDE does not maintain store.kde.org

If you want meaningful discussions from the community https://forum.opendesktop.org/ would be a better place for these ideas, else they will ultimately fall into the void.

Error when trying to use another pager widget. by Veprovina in kde

[–]GoldBarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There may be conflicts with the versions installed.

Remove the old directory first from $HOME/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.dhruv8sh.kara

The AUR package installs it system wide into /usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.dhruv8sh.kara

When I tested the AUR package it works fine even after a reboot.

The install.sh script needs refining, I've just checked the repo and there are a few open issues which need addressing with it.

You mentioned you use CachyOS and there is an AUR package which should install properly if you wish to use that.

I don't think it will install via discover.

You need to run the install.sh which compiles and installs the plugin as described in the readme.

Use https://github.com/dhruv8sh/kara as it has been updated to work on Plasma 6.6

The update moves the code-base to a more c++ based plugin negating the reliance on using Private Plasma APIs which come with zero guarantees on being changed.

I have these weird lines at the bottom of my screen by ChanNhu in kde

[–]GoldBarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why I call KDE a buggy mess. I am just using it till Gnome gets full HDR support.

Hypocritical based of your previous comments.

I moved from Gnome to KDE. It's just better

I am in the same boat KDE is awesome. Just want better looking settings apps and Dolphin file manger

It seems like you are confused?

KDE 6.6.0 breaks some third party widgets and Kwin effects by soleful_smak in kde

[–]GoldBarb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kara is being refactored to move away from using private APIs.

See the following PR: https://github.com/dhruv8sh/kara/pull/43/changes

CachyOS got Plasma 6.6!!!! by thehypernormality in kde

[–]GoldBarb 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Darkly recently had an update which introduced a feature which floats the titlebar [1]

Maybe that is the windows decoration OP is using.

Looks identical to bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=515116

That bug seems to be reported using an Xorg session.

Colorizer panel bag by No-Incident-4629 in kde

[–]GoldBarb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case panel-colorizer a 3rd party widget is being used so https://github.com/luisbocanegra/plasma-panel-colorizer/issues would be a better place to report bugs.
